Not all labs have square meters to devote to machinery, but all have the same problem: handling liquid natural yeast reliably, safely, and repeatably. MAMA 8 was born exactly from this need: a fermenter for liquid sourdough that concentrates in a small footprint the same design logic and robustness as larger models.

It is a machine designed for those who work in small spaces, for those who want to start structuring the management of liquid natural yeast or for those who need dedicated support for small productions, tests and special lines, without sacrificing professional standards.

Small in size, big in performance

Technically speaking, MAMA 8 is compact but far from minimal:

• Tank capacity 8 liters
• Production capacity 6.5 liters
• Usable capacity 4.5 liters
• Minimum product 2 liters

These values make it ideal for craft workshops with low but continuous daily production and bakeries and pastry shops that want to complement a line of liquid natural yeast products without disrupting the organization of the laboratory…

The ambient temperature range of 4 to 40 °C allows it to be installed in different settings, from the air-conditioned laboratory to the backroom with less stable conditions, while still maintaining reliable operation.

The 0.5 kW committed power, combined with the small volume, also helps to limit the overall energy impact on the system.

Compact engineering: size and installation

One of the key advantages of MAMA 8 is its small footprint. We are talking about 443 x 587 x h527 mm, which becomes 443 x 587 x h788 mm with open shelter. For many labs it means finally being able to fit a fermenter for liquid natural yeast where it was simply impossible before.

It is available with a dedicated stainless steel riser, designed to bring the machine to an ergonomic working height and also intelligently use the space underneath as a support area.

Liquid natural yeast management with visibility and control

Like all Domino liquid natural yeast fermenters, MAMA 8 is designed to make daily management easier and more controllable.

Standard features includeinternal LED lighting, which provides optimal visibility inside the tank. It might seem like a small detail, but in practice it allows you to assess in seconds the structure of the yeast, the level of development and the possible need to intervene on cycle management.

The layout of the controls is rational, with a clear and readable interface designed to reduce error margins even in laboratories where staff rotate or do not yet have much experience on liquid natural yeast.

Digital or touch version: two approaches to the same process logic

MAMA 8 is available in digital or touch versions, so it will suit both those seeking an essential approach and those who want more advanced control and tighter integration into workflows.

• The digital version emphasizes operational simplicity, with immediate settings and intuitive management of key parameters;
• The touch version, on the other hand, paves the way for more advanced functions and the possibility of taking advantage of dedicated options for even more precise process management;

This dual option allows you to choose the level of control most consistent with the stage of development the lab is in, while still leaving open the possibility of evolving in the future.

Smart options: water and level under control

On the touch version, MAMA 8 can integrate optional features designed to make the process even more standardized and measurable:

Automatic water loading with integrated water meter

• • Allows precise quantities to be set;
  • Reduces variability due to manual dosing;
  • It speeds up yeast preparation between cycles;

Level sensor

• • Monitor the amount of yeast extracted;
  • Check the residual yeast in the tank;
  • It helps to schedule subsequent cycles more accurately and reduce waste;

These tools transform MAMA 8 into a true process node, capable of providing objective data and references, not just accommodating yeast.

The little one doing the big one’s job

MAMA 8 is proof that you do not need a high-capacity machine to professionally process liquid natural yeast, but rather a critically designed technology that can:

• Taking up little space;
• Ensure clear and repeatable parameters;
• Provide useful options for those who really want to measure and control the process;

For those who have always put off entering the world of liquid sourdough due to lack of space or fear of too large an investment, MAMA 8 is the concrete answer: a compact, technical liquid yeast fermenter ready to grow with the laboratory.
